3 "Red-orange lipsticks always brighten up my face and make me look more alive than I actually feel, so I was instantly intrigued by this Fenty Beauty attempt at the perfect orange, matte lipstick. As I had hoped, I wasn't disappointed at all. This shade, which is a bright-but-notglaring orange, legit lasted through an entire Christmas dinner, from the cheese plate to the chocolate cake dessert." Rachel Lubitz, Senior Beauty Writer FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick $ OF 10 "With New Year's Eve only days away, I've become obsessed with having amazing nails as we head into After scouring the internet for the right polish, I've decided that this one from Sundays Studio is an absolute dream. With a rose gold base and gold flecks packed inside, it matches the black velvet and gold dress I'll be wearing that night perfectly. Plus, since it's from Sundays, I know that it'll look fresh long after that night, too." Lubitz

SUNDAYS S. 01 Nail Polish $18.00 4 OF 10 "I never, ever use liquid liner, but this new Benefit version has made a believer out of me.

4 SUNDAYS S. 01 Nail Polish $ OF 10 "I never, ever use liquid liner, but this new Benefit version has made a believer out of me. It s just firm enough to create the thinnest possible line, and the effect is truly matte not that weird, shiny look of some liquid liners that clashes with your eyeshadow. I prefer the brown shade for adding just a touch of definition to my neutral smoky eye. It lasts all day and comes off easily with my Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser." Cat Quinn, Beauty Director BENEFIT COSMETICS Roller Liner Liquid Eyeliner OF 10 "I got my hands on this a few months before it launched, which explains why my friend who stayed with me last October has been texting me almost every week asking when it is going to come out. (This month! Finally!). We both have thick, long hair that s oily at the roots and dry on the ends and it made our strands super clean and smooth, without the squeaky stripped feeling of many scalp-purifying shampoos." Quinn ACT+ACRE Hair Cleanse $ OF 10 "I've been searching high and low for a blonde-specific shampoo that color corrects brassiness and keeps my hair as soft as it was with virgin brunette color and I think I finally found it. For the first time in nearly a year of being blonde, I can air-dry my fried, over-processed hair and it ACTUALLY looks good. Hallelujah it's a holiday miracle!" Samantha Sasso, Beauty Writer L'OREAL PROFESSIONAL

5 Illuminating Shampoo $ OF 10 "This brow gel may be advertised with men who are the proud owners of furrowed, bushy brows, but I must say, this clear, conditioning formula works just as well for me. It's the nofrills, big-brushed, long-wanded gel I've been searching for to keep my bold arches in check. I consider it a sweet bonus that it's cruelty-, fragrance-, and paraben-free oh! and 10% of the sales are donated to the non-profit organization We See Beauty, which is dedicated to supporting women-led, worker-owned businesses." Sasso MAKE BEAUTY Sculpting Lash & Brow Gel $ OF 10 "As someone who always sets her concealer with powder, I thought it was a bold move when Make Up For Ever said it was launching a 'self-setting' concealer. Let's see about that, I thought. I applied this concealer on the night of birthday go hard or go home, right? and I couldn't believe it. My long night involved seeing the paramedics at a concert venue (long story), a stream of tears falling down my face, walking into a surprise party, and getting home at 4 a.m. and as I passed the mirror, I realized that my concealer was still intact. No dark circles, no cracking, no discoloration. You would've never known that I had one of the craziest nights of my life, except for the bandaged gash across my chin." Thatiana Diaz, Beauty Writer MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra Hd Self-setting Concealer $ OF 10 "My body starts to reject deodorants over time, and I eventually have to get a new formula before I'm sweating as if I just walked out of a Pilates class (when all really did was walk two blocks in a sweater). I had never given natural deodorants a try, but I decided to go for it when the time came for a yet another product switch-up. This one caught my attention with its simplistic packaging, but I also loved the smell of its essential oils. After using it for a few days, I

was hooked. I raved to my boyfriend about this natural deodorant that didn't have me sweating one bit and now, he's using it.

Diaz CORPUS Natural Deodorant $ OF 10 "Recently, I replaced my expensive hyaluronic acid serum with these glow drops, and I can honestly say I don't know if I'll be going back to the $90 version. I apply about four drops to my face and massage it in. Something about the lightweight, water-based texture and the refreshing floral smell makes me feel like I'm in a spa. After I put it on, my face is left with a dewy glow, and there's not a dry patch in sight."
